For the post, I decided to make a little mini Thanksgiving/fall theme table scape and let Norah do a simple fall themed craft. I had planned two, but the attention span of a 2 year old determined otherwise. Since the other two kids weren't involved, I may have them tell me things they are thankful for and add them around the tree.

After we finished our craft, I added in the kitchen and she made and fed me "beans". Ironic, since she didn't eat her beans last night!

Both products get an A+ right off the bat in my book because they were super easy to assemble and I love that the picnic table folds flat for easier storage. The kids have been loving the picnic table since we set it up--using it at meal times and to do art work/table top activities on. It also comes with an umbrella, but since we have it up in the house right now, that is not pictured and we haven't used it yet. It would come in super handy in the spring and summer months, of course!

My only complaints about the table are that it slides all over the place on our tile floor (which again, it's most likely designed to be outdoors anyway) and that there are only 2 little cup holders. You can imagine the arguments that have ensued over that.

Henry being 6 (and a small guy at that), he's almost a bit too big for it, so I'd say it's definitely best for the under 5/6 crowd. Norah loves it so much I can't even convince her to come sit by me at the big table during lunch time when it's just her and me. She'd rather sit alone at her little table.

It cleans up super easy as we've had every spill you could think of already, of course. It also allows quick and easy access to the food for our dogs, so they've been enjoying this little table being around too.

As for the kitchen, we already own 2 other kitchens but I was asked to incorporate it into the Thanksgiving post here. It's a nice little kitchen if you are tight on space or live in an apartment because it all folds into itself and the top pushes down and in too. It's very lightweight, has a number of different compartments, and came with a nice assortment of food and dishes. Based on size, I'd say this one is best for the under 3 crowd. Claire plays with it, but it's really a great size for Norah.
